Yep. Its in there under section 280.

We had a different engine control unit by the looks.

They changed the speed limiter from 180kmh to some unobtainable number.

Also for what it is worth the highest octane unleaded you could buy in Australia in 1992 was ......95.

Ahh ok, what did the bidding get up to Bob?

I don't know as I wasn't at the auction.

That part is misleading anyway as the auctioneers run phantom bids up near the reserve hoping someone will bid to cover the reserve price. If a car has a reserve of $40K, they will run the bidding up to mid-high $30's and hope it crosses the line or at least get close enough to submit the bid and negotiate after the auction. I have bought and sold cars at Shannons auctions so I understand their strategy.

You can't read it now but I remember looking at the inspection report on this car and it did have leaking turbos and quite a few other necessary repairs.

Not withstanding all of that, it looks a lovely car.

Throw a few grand at it and enjoy owning a rare classic!

Bob.

nice pics bob - you obviously love your gtr :)

Yes I do but I was just as interested to see what quality difference there is in my Sony Cybershot camera and my iPhone 4.............

I think the iPhone colouring is actually slightly better!

    • No need to drill any holes. There's plenty of access to reach through and behind all of that steel to "push" from behind with a pulling action on the slide hammer. There's all sorts of attachments you can screw on the end of them.
    • Yea the photos aren't the best. When I was pulling the bumper and headlights out there was a bodyshop guy looking on for it, there is a slight bend behind where the passenger headlight is, but we're talking a few MM and there is a little bit of a bend for the reo. That said it's supposedly well within the "Drill a hole in it and pull it out with a slide hammer to be close enough" and be on our way. The other option is to buy a GTR reo for the GTR bumper bits but this is a $2000+ fix for something Mr Hammer can probably do 99% of the job for and everything will/can line up pretty closely-to-good-enough.
    • That's a write off for sure... Part out? 😛 I kid. It looks like the rad support has a minor minor bend in it too where the rep support sits near. Could just be the photos (and me not wearing my glasses right now). Worst case is you can buy a new radiator support, have it swapped over, and leave the car in paint jail for 12 to 18 months while you build the motor to handle twin turbos or a Harrop SC...
    • It seems the definition of "Gregging" something might need to be expanded?
    • This is why I suggested that there is really nothing that can safely be done in the engine bay at this budget level. Just the work to reassure yourself that the engine won't instantly crap itself the moment the boost gets turned up will wear out the piggy bank long before the first turbo gets installed. Spend $10k and still not have any extra performance? My tip is a version of our standard advice from 15 years ago about buying a GTR, which is not to buy one unless you can afford to buy two. The new version is not to modify a GTR unless you have all the funds required to do it all at once, properly, and enough to rebuild it after it blows up.
